[QUOTE="Harley Rider, post: 1110339, member: 10872"] Had a house I delivered to several times and never saw a dog there. One day I pull up and there is a huge beautiful German Shepherd that I could tell would bite me if I got out of my truck. No one at home so I put the package in a DR bag and tie it to an old mailbox that ison their circular drive. Their new mailbox was out on the road. Just so happens that the very next day I have another pkg for them. As I pull up the woman comes out to my truck with the dog right behind her going nuts again. I explain that I hope she got the pkg from yesterday but that the dog was not going to let me out of my truck w/o me getting bit. Of course she tells me the dog is all bark and no bite. Uh huh............ right. I open the bulkhead door and get her pkg out. The next thing I know, the dog is in my cab and has bitten me around my knee and ripped my pants leg all the way to my shoe. I am bleeding like a stuck hog and all the woman can do is say that she can't believe the dog bit me. Just a little info I have gleaned from the interwebs. Out here in the rural areas I deliver to, people think that posting a "BEWARE OF DOG" sign protects them from a lawsuit. In New York there was a law suit involving a postman that was bitten in someones fenced front yard that was posted with a "BEWARE OF DOG" sign. The postman sued and was awarded money. Even though a sign was posted, the mailbox was on the front porch that the postman had to get to. It would also apply to UPS trying to leave a pkg or a meter reader trying to read a meter etc.... The only way that sign will protect the homeowner is if the dog is in a fenced area that no one would have any business entering. People leave their dogs running loose and think they are protected just because they have a sign posted??? Lots of ignorant people out there folks. [/QUOTE]
